Volunteer at the Peninsula Museum of Art

Current Opportunities

Reception Desk Docent Volunteers

The Reception Desk Docents serve as the Museum's "face", greeting visitors, answering questions, and frequently acting as informal guides to the exhibitions. Reception Desk Docents also accept memberships and donations, and assist in the Museum Store as necessary.

Come and Join Us as a Volunteer

The Peninsula Museum of Art is growing up, adding programs and features, expanding its corps of docents and volunteers.

All docents are volunteers, but not all volunteers are docents. The docents preside over the Museum lobby, greet visitors, answer questions about the exhibitions (and everything else, it seems), and lead tours of the exhibitions (by prior arrangement).

The docents meet during the week prior to the opening of a new exhibition for a training session, usually with the artist and/or curator present to provide detailed information and answer questions.
